I am Jürgen Augusteyns (°Ghent, 1972), a Belgian guitarist/composer.
Mainly focusing on genre crossing/blending solo-guitar work, I've been developing a distinct, recognisable style influenced by guitarists such as Loren Connors, Chris Forsyth, Mick Turner and Marisa Anderson but also musicians and bands by the likes of Glenn Branca, Oren Ambarchi and Six organs of admittance, to name a few.
Instant composing is the common thread in both my recordings and live performances, often making use of minimalist structures and repetitive patterns.
I collaborated with Eric Thielemans, Karen Willems, Joachim Badenhorst, Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavicino, Nicolas Rombouts, Joao Lobo, Teuk Henri, Nils Vermeulen, Mauro Pawlowksi, Anke Verslype, Takashi Masubushi amongst others.
